I played this game from the NA inception,2-3 years back.I still play it as i have friends there i like to hang out with.
I will give you or anyone else an honest opinion of this game.
It has been totally ruined by gil sellers.Most of the players in the game are level 75 now,therefore don't expect a large base of players at lower levels.Yes HELP will be hard to come by,because all the level 75 players hangout in SKY or camp NM's.Most of the crafting is also high end only ,therefore low end stuff is expensive and hard to come by.
The battle system IMO is the best there is.There is also PvP but as expected ,not many play it.Crafting IMO is very boring and not well done.This area definately could use improving.The game is very time consuming.Quests are usually only done to get a needed spell/gear /item or advancement.For the most part they are not well thought out ,nor are they very much fun.EQ2 does a better job in this area.
In summary ,i would not recommend this game to a newcomer.It's pretty much high levels players bragging about there gear or justhanging out with other friends.
IMO all these MMO games should be redone after 2 years max.The game content goes out the window,and new players will be so few ,that there time in the game most likely will be a lonesome or boring one.
The majority of MMO players are merely in a race to hit high level status,and never take a break to enjoy the game.You better pick a game and enter it before the first 6mnths,because all the players will be high level,so finding a group or players will be very hard.
If you like the Final Fantasy series,then you best hope they come out with a new online game in the near future.I myself really wish they would,as i have grown tired of this installment and the gil sellers are to blame for most of it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

This is partly true. Gil sellers did ruin the game but for me (who restarted the game after a year playing) help hasn't been too hard to come by. You just have to be in the right linkshell.

Like above, parly true, yes the crafting is boring and yes quests are boring too unless like he sai you are looking for a specific reward but the PvP does have a lot of players, at least in Titan.
In summary ,i would not recommend this game to a newcomer.It's pretty much high levels players bragging about there gear or justhanging out with other friends.
This is true, it's hard for new players NOW (if you don't have a few High lvl friends) when it was released it was my first MMO experience and I fell in love with it.

True.

I know, I would LOVE to see a FFXI-2 since this game has been out for quite some time. But oh well, I'll just wait for the new expansion.
